it's only politics

Meanwhile several of those very same family members who fled have all built successful businesses here in America. One of them runs a multi-million dollar construction company without even having a high school diploma

Communism tried to kill my family, but capitalism allowed them to prosper

“Actually it’s antisemitic to associate Jews with Israel”

Is it racist to associate an ethnically Japanese person with Japan???!?!? IS IT??

Would it be okay to say “I don’t hate the Japanese but I think Japan should be wiped off the map, but oh no I’m not racist because I know a few Japanese people who also hate Japan”???

I wish some people understood how unhinged they really sound.

You don’t get to not be antisemitic by magically wiping Jews from Judea in your stupid little head. That’s not how this works.

Like at this point if you invest even a shred of interest in the region but don’t bother looking up the BASIC (and unbiased!) history you’re just as ignorant as an anti-vaxxer, full stop.

Fascism did not exist in the 1600s. Or 1700s. Or 1800s. It is an invention of 20th century Italy.

Capitalism did not exist as a fleshed out economic concept until the 18th century.

If you, after seeing this, still continue to claim that Israel commited genocide, you just hate jews. Die mad about it, I don't care.

No, not everything you don't like is fascism, no, not every right wing nutjob is necessarily a fascist, no, not every violation of human rights is fascism.

the op probably:

It’s so normal. It is so so normal to go outside and see stickers or graffiti or posters explicitly calling for me and people like me to be slaughtered. I see it all the time. And it’s become normal. It used to be scary, it used to be overwhelming and completely drowning me. But now it just feels like, idk— I guess just a part of daily life. It has the same effect of someone behind you brushing against your shoe or something. A little annoying in the moment, it might hurt for a split second, but you get over it as soon as you take another step.

this specific graffiti only really affected me as much as it did because we were supposed to be having a nice day, and it had been before that, and I had been nervous about King’s Cross beforehand but hadn’t seen anything weird. It hit me the way it did because before then there wasn’t anything and I was pleasantly surprised, so almost a new normal had been set for the day. Even in this post my first instinct after writing what I saw was to add on a ‘but it’s whatever lol’. Huh?????? Explicit celebration of Hamas is just ‘whatever’ to me at this point???? Seriously????

In comics, Magneto is a Jew who made an Israel for Mutants because the civilised Europeans killed his entire family . He and Xavier literally met in Haifa. In Israel. Then he did Mutant Zionism.

In real life, Hamas launched a genocidal attack on October 7 because they think Israelis are French Algerians instead of Jews with nowhere else to go and the other Arab nations around them would finally get their shit together and win or some shit because 1970s theory brain is forever I guess. This started yet another fucking War after thousands of rockets and suicide bombs and a bunch of other wars failed to entirely kill the Jews.

And people in fandoms everywhere decided yet again to take a Jewish character and make Insert People the New Jews. Because people LOVE dead or fictional Jews who agree with them. They don't like living ones. Bibi Sucks. Likud sucks. War fucking sucks. Don't do it. If you do it, have a plan to win that doesn't involve using your own civilians as human shields while you fight without uniforms to generate global sympathy from credulous western idiots just itching for the chance to hate some jews. If you want to shove your fandom-tier omnicause hurricane hashtags into a comic book fandom, specifically by appropriating an explicitly Jewish Zionist character talking about how people always come for them, Magneto is probably one you want to skip instead of appropriate. Like. Appropriation aside, there's basic literacy involved here. Just say you're boycotting. And you know. Actually boycott.
